Sounds good. For the avoidance of doubt, is the format of the planet file changing or does this just affect the API between editors and the DB? Is there anything that we must change in OSM Mapper (the product) to accommodate the new API? Is there anything we 'could' change in OSM Mapper to take advantage of new content in the planet file? In particular will the text associated with the changeset be available in the planet file. Finally - if the planet file is changing - are there sample planet files with this additional information available for us to test with OSM Mapper prior to the switch-over.
